I threw out an insulting lowball offer on a "For Parts" Voodoo 2 and they accepted it! I think the "for parts" was just user error, we'll see once it and the Mac shows up. I do like the idea of the loopthrough system and it's confirmed that the Voodoo 2 will play Elite Force which is really all...

Howdy y'all, I've got a PM6500 board in that should have everything it needs to work and I'd like to do some experimenting with it, but I don't want to have to whack it into a real chassis while I do so. What's the minimum viable product to make it a booting macintosh? Which voltages where, and...

Hmm, all compelling points. I’ll look into it. From the lack of mention i’m assuming nvidia cards weren’t much of a thing on PCI Macs.

Oh that’s a good point I didn’t even consider. Is there any reason I couldn’t use an external monitor with a PCI GPU?

I doubt it. According to all the research I’ve done, X500 logic boards go straight into the 5400 and earlier chassis without issue. I feel like if trying to use max resolution exploded the CRT, someone would have mentioned that. 1280x1024 is not a high end resolution even at the time, and...

Thanks! Lots of excellent info in here! Good point on the phantom display. I haven’t messed with multi monitor setups in classic Mac OS in a long long long time, is there no way to disable a connected display in software? Do keep us posted on your 6500 project! Got a thread for it?

I mean, the 5500 supports up to 1280x1024 on the internal display. Really my desire for more video performance is less for resolution and more for games. Yeah I’ve got a G3 iMac that would blow the pants off the AIO, but where’s the fun in doing what’s sensible?

Howdy, I’m picking up a PM5400 (and I impulse bought a 6500 LB) in a couple months and I was wondering if there were any video cards that could be modified to work with the internal display. I don’t mind solder work in the slightest, but I have no clue whatsoever what the word is in terms of...

That’s a great idea, I forgot about VideoKarma. I actually have an account there already, and I’ll ask there.

(copy pasted from my post on TinkerDifferent[my 68kmla account took a lil bit to get approved]) Ok so my Studio display started arcing and sparking like they all do, so I got a new flyback from Technotronic Dimensions. Nice fellow. I got it installed and it looked glorious! For about 10...
